Put two reverse records in both  the IPv4 and IPv6 reverse zones....

in the "125.124.123.in-addr.arpa" zone:

126   IN   PTR   mail.xxx.com.
126   IN   PTR   ns.xxx.com.

and the same sort of thing in the reverse IPv6 zone. To calculate run:-
2a01:e34:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:1122:3344
and see what question dig asks.

Nothing wrong with a machine (or interface on a machine) having more
than one name for the same address. List them all in the reverse
configuration. After all, a NS record usually has at least two records ;-)
